Serial Core crash in tty_open

Serial Core crash in tty_open

[Abhijit Lamsoge]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 540 bytes --]

Hi All,
I had written a char/serial driver for Kernel 3.0 to 3.1 in old times
and it used to work absolutely fine.
Now I need this driver for some bluetooth, virtual mount-point for
data transfer to and fro to mobile,
for kernel version 3.8 onwards, however, there is a big crash, when I
do any data transfer on the uart_port created by this driver.
I have attached the crash file dmesg here.
I am not sure, where the problem is, whether it's the kernel or the driver.

Please let me know if anybody gets any idea from the crash.

Doesn't this explain the issue well enough?

Re: Serial Core crash in tty_open

[Abhijit Lamsoge]

Hi Greg,
Thanks for your reply.
I have modified my driver to work,
the struct tty_driver has a back pointer to original tty_driver structure.
Which had to be initialized to the port variable of original
tty_driver structure, after tty_init_port and before
tty_register_driver(my_driver), for my_drv->nr numbers, after all
uart_register and basic structure initialization is successful.
The back pointer I believe is added sometime after 3.0 Kernel, because
of which the port initialization handling needed to be done in driver
writers code, as contrary to my earlier code, where it must have been
taken care by serial core.
Thanks again for motivation.
For any further bugs, I will keep posting.

Abhijit

Lots of things have changed in the serial / tty layer since 3.0 days.

Why not post your code to be merged into the kernel tree so that this
doesn't happen in the future when apis change again?
